      That means a lot. On New Year's Eve, we lost our boy Dante(my best friend, my fur baby) it was very hard on me. With Kelly's love and support, I found exercise to be my release and really brought joy and love back into my soul. Thanks! A smile is contagious and I believe that to the core. Thanks for watching.

    SO great to see that big smile from you seeing your bees getting going . Our weather here in NC this winter has been warm an wet also . This Thursday we are planning on being around 80F an then back in the lower 50’s for the weekend . Do you do anything like count on a honey production or is yours mostly just pollinate an raise queens ??? . Keep up the great video’s . THANKS
